"What if" scenario... looking for help from the experts!

Hi all! I'm a full time, USA Today Bestselling author and I'm brainstorming a subplot for a new book and need help.

Two astronauts are on an EVA at the ISS... I need a BELIEVABLE (i.e. not like the film Gravity) scenario where one of them gets detached and floats away & is unable to be rescued. I know that typically an astronaut is tethered at all times but I was thinking maybe a momentary detach to untangle a tether or something? And then something goes wrong. Does that work? Also, how long can an astronaut survive in his EMU before asphyxiating?

Please forgive me if I'm not posting in the right place and I kindly ask you to direct me to the correct area if such is the case. Thanks!
